HANA HOU. ( to do again!) - We had a WONDERFUL time. We highly recommend doing this e -bike tour on the south side of Kauai. It was 2-3 hours very well spent in the company of Lori and Eugene who were fabulous tour guides. It felt like we were with friends the entire time.
The e bikes were great, plenty of juice to get you all the way through even if you chose to use the highest level of assist the whole time. So no worries regarding running out of charge. Most of the ride is actually pretty flat, no major hills, so very accessible for every level of biker. We felt safe at all times. There were about 5 stops, for 5-10 minutes with little history lessons each time. Each bike had a speaker through which you could hear running commentary from Lori along the way. A great way to see this part of the Island. FUN, FUN FUN ! Mahalo Lori and Eugene

Quite the ride! - We loved riding bikes and seeing parts of Kauai that most tourists miss. Lori and Eugene were amazing in the sharing of their vast knowledge of Kauai history with us as we rode. They made you feel like you were now part of their family, ready to assist you with the rest of your vacation if you had any questions.

Great bike excursion with e-bikes - Got to see highlights in south Kaui. Had audio on the bikes so as traveling around we got history of the areas. The E-bikes were great and top notch. They allowed enough breaks during the ride. My wife and I have gone a number of bike trips on our vacations and this was one of the best. I would highly recommend it

Awesome morning bike tour! - We had so much fun on this tour! Lori shared so much interesting information about Kauai and Poipu, I learned a lot! We saw several turtles and the spouting horn blowhole in addition to all the incredible mountains and beaches in the area.
Biking with the electric bikes was a lot easier than I expected and most of the ride was fairly flat.
This was a great way to start the day, and we got a lot of tips from Lori and Cam and Eugen on great places to go for sightseeing and dining.
I highly recommend this tour, especially early on in your vacation!
